The Bluesky Android mobile app is telling me I cannot use Bluesky unless I provide my date of birth.
(I haven't looked at Bluesky in a while — so, this might not be a new thing.)
I wonder if you can get around this by just installing an alternative (3rd party) Bluesky mobile app.
Does the com.atproto.sync.getBlob XRPC method allow redirects? In the Possible Future Changes section of the HTTP API (XRPC) documentation is this comment: An explicit decision about whether HTTP redirects are supported. I have a moderately strong feeling that it should support redirects, mainly to allow PDS and XRPC implementations to support content delivery and signed URLs. Use case #1: content delivery networks A PDS / XRPC implementation may want to allow blobs to be served by a CDN....
Case in point.

Bluesky going down the verifications rabbit hole in a hilariously hamfisted way. Actually, that's a bit too kind. They're doing it in a way that will makes brands and corpos happy, but fundamentally compromises their stated mission of decentralization. By centralizing verification power, you end up with the same godawful power dynamic of old Twitter. https://bsky.app/profile/bsky.app/post/3lndjyjdtq22a
